title: Dental epidemiology in Ethiopia.
abstract: First thoughts often assume that dental health is unlikely to be a priority for some time to come in a war stricken country like Ethiopia. Paradoxically the very success of specialised feeding programmes, in some groups in particular, has accelerated the onset of the sort of dental disease that is becoming a feature of developing countries.
